Off to a great start!

[Trish]

I have no idea. last few weeks have left mystified.  I have nothing to explain IoJ last week.  Nothing to really explain the up and downs of SoS vs SoR.
It could go any direction I think.  And be a blow out for any one of the three, with no rhyme or reason.

I am pretty sure IoJ is better then whatever last week was.
And like I said, SoS vs SoR was just back and forth lopsided. rarely were maps contested directly.  just wipe it blue, wipe it red..

SoS had 2 HoD guilds and several DB guilds shift there, boosting their NA presence significantly.

SoR had several NA JQ guilds shift there, plus a few Oceanic guilds from other servers, but still lacking in that area compared to SoS and IoJ. When they did well during those times against SoS it was probably NA people staying up very late to boost their Oceanic presence.

IoJ was completely taken by surprise by the changes that occurred to SoS and were unable to recover for that match up. They should be better prepared for this one.

SoS: 2021+SM  +315
SoR: 1626         +225
IoJ:    1516         +155

Score update?

Edit: Guess I should have refreshed before I hit reply!

Looks similar to the SoS v. SoR v. CD fight 2 weeks ago.

Very nice website btw.

[Ricoz]

Beware of SoR's Taiwan alliance. I would not say SoR's asia/oceanic timezone is any weaker then SoS

[kargun01]

Good match so far.

SoR and SoS have blood lust for each other, IoJ is just a bystander. We are going to take SOS down and if IOJ gets in the way they will be crushed.

The reason there's a lot of talk about double teaming is that people expected IOJ to step up in a big way after their humiliating defeat last week. Combined with SOR being thirsty for a chance to take SOS down after being defeated at the last minute in the match previous, it was looking like they'd both be gunning for SOS simultaneously, ignoring eachother as much as possible in the process. Sadly, it seems that IOJ really have thrown in the towel and that we're going to end up with a 1v1 by the end of the weekend

Its very frustrating for us euro's to have to carry NA's in their own timezone on an NA server!

I, and everyone else who's been busting their asses in NA in this match, would appreciate if you would save the trash talk for our opponents rather than allies.

[Cirus]

I woke up not so long ago, what a fierce start!

Once the Americans start to get tired or some queues open up later tonight, I'll be ready to put in a shift until they wake up again

Pretty hilarious how some IOJ posters were trying to claim the moral victory last week after going 390,000 points down.

[xarallei]

I'm kind of baffled as to what is going on. Where is the IoJ that played against JQ and SBI the other week? You can't blame this on candy anymore. I suppose it's still very early but I am worried this sluggish start will make the server pugs lose morale and give up and IoJ can't afford that.

[RageQuake]

This match-up and its back and forth are intense!

Busting your ass does not denote competence nor success. Maybe if you had a guild tag on or at least said which borderland you played on tonight we could get a little more into it, but as it stands, I am exceptionally disapointed with tonight.

Sorry but I totally agree with Aneu, We came up here into tier 2 thinking we would have competition and you guys on IOJ took the last week off. Im sorry but if you made that big of a dent in Tier 1 then T1 is a joke. I understand JQ is a little soft since we left but im very curious if T1 can handle us now.

If this is as big of a push IOJ can make on a friday at reset then anyone who wants to push for no1 should come to SOR. We have cookies

Aneu, you and your guild are by far the best fight on IOJ.

[Hoots447]

Good to have some competition again, sos/prx its nice to see you guys again looks like its gonna be another good match in red bl. as for Ioj im still a little confused at how you guys can be this bad and be this high in the brackets?? I mean honestly i think you guys should stack up more in red bl so that we may continue to collect your bags. lol at that tactic maybe its time to rethink your tactics if wanna keep up with sos and sor in this match

[Damsyl]

It's kind of sad that we ALREADY have drama on this thread =/. SoR while you guys are great competition, it's still a little disappointing to see how everyone is bashing on IoJ. **** happens, they'll go down in rank and hopefully they will be able to build themselves back up. There are still people trying to be on the borderlands to try to make sure they still have potential points. I think we should all stop bashing the servers and the guilds, it's pointless drama. Let's all have fun this week, because I dont know about you but I was looking forward to this week .

[Papaj]

This week's rotation will be the death of me, especially if this keeps up for 6 more days. It probably doesn't help I came into this on 2 hours of sleep and am now on 37 hours straight of being awake, but the adrenaline alone kept me going until my internet decided to hiccup and pit me against the queue boss. Really strong showing from everyone, even if IoJ is clearly the least performing of the three at this current moment in time. I might not have the luxury of a social life this week, and for that, I thank you all.

Gonna call it now while it's early. He's this week's thread troll.

Will look forward to the tears...and if I'm wrong, well who cares. I'll be right about something at least.

[two maces]

give it a few weeks, im sure IOJ will show up.

[Lalnuir]

IoJ owns stone mist at the moment. They where also ahead of ppt until about 30 seconds ago.

It's SoS +235
SoR + 235
IoJ + 225

[Freelancer]

Good fights tonight. We mustered who we could and got 20ish out there. See you guys tomorrow!

[VDa]

Really hope IoJ shows up this week and gives both SoS and SoR a run for the win. I want this match to be exciting...not a fight first, doze off rest of the week thing.

Love how situations change, no matter who owns SM.

SoS is in lead, without SM. IoJ...last place with SM.

I got a Screenie of it but I don't know these forums well enough to post it. Doesn't matter though. It'll change quite quickly for the next couple days that it doesn't matter.

SM ties up a lot of manpower to hold, especially when under siege from 2 factions. Losing stonemist allowed SoS to regain some towers/camps and expand into SoR/IoJ territory. SM is a morale thing, the 35 points is easy to cover if you know how to expand and attack on multiple fronts.

I watched the ptt change 3 times within 5 seconds of each other... so much flipping gonna happen this week might be a good time to level up an alt

[Lalnuir]

IoJ has 13 camps
SoR has 3 camps

o.O With only 30 ppt difference between first and third. lol

Don't worry.  TL raids Sun thru Tue.

Great work tonight for anyone in SoS Borderlands.  It was looking grim for a while and aside from EB we were the last bastion of hope for the server it seemed.  Weathered the storm and things seem to be starting to normalize again.  SoS was defending Foghaven like it was a keep or something.  Some nice treb wars over at the Hills.  Good luck with the Bay SoR, that one is tough to hold.
